This week's feature album is the long-awaited release aptly entitled The Wait from Vika & Linda.
The Wait marks the beloved duo's first album of original songs in 19 years and it was surely worth the wait.
Vika & Linda have been a treasured part of Australian music for more than 30 years. After three classic albums with The Black Sorrows, they released their platinum self-titled debut in 1994. They have also sung on number one albums by Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers and John Farnham, and performed gigs for the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and the King of Tonga.
The journey towards The Wait – Vika & Linda’s seventh studio album – began in March 2017, when the sisters started sourcing songs for the album.
The songwriting credits on The Wait read like a who’s who of Australian music royalty: Ben Salter, Paul Kelly, Don Walker, Glenn Richards, Chris Cheney, Kasey Chambers & Brandon Dodd, Bernard Fanning, Matt Walker & Neil Murray, Mick Thomas & Jemma Rowlands and emerging talent Eva Seymour.
Produced by Steven Schram with Cameron Bruce, The Wait contains 12 instant classics that demonstrate Vika & Linda’s storytelling prowess and versatility while also showcasing their peerless sibling harmonies.
The Wait is out now via Bloodlines. Tune into PBS all week for your chance to win a CD copy of the album. Not a PBS member? Sign up now for your chance to win.
